Costa Rica Forum: Caribbean coast - cahuita or manuel antonio in aug

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did look into la posada but I am concerned that the weather in MA is going to be much rainier than on the caribbean side - and I really wanted to go to the sloth sanctuary - why do you think MA is going to be so much better than the caribbean side - all thoughts are much appreciated!

Trying to give you any advice based on the weather during the month of August is hard...very hard...

My little ones love Manuel Antonio...but also love the low profile of the beaches around Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva, Cocles, Manzanillo...Peace Lodge is partially open...

Simple answer I will rather go to Caribbean side...

Just buckle up and enjoy the ride in PARADISE!

Hi,

The peace lodge has reopened and it's great for kids.

You know, I just went with my son to Cahuita a little while ago. He's 5 and we found a bunch of things to do that he loved. They have the sloth center, a huge hit for kids. Amazing beaches, and since it's their drier season, you might have a lot less rain and more fun time at the beach.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your messages - I think I will stick to my original plan and go to Cahuita (can't resist the thought of those sloths and all those lovely beaches nearby). Does anyone know if we can hire bikes with kids seats on them? Think I will book a night at the peace lodge too - sounds great!

I doubt August will have any rain that paralyzes you. It is a medium month for rain. It is Nov and Dec that can be some heavy ones.

Here is a good graph to look at for weather trends in Caribbean.
